Wait
The Wait node pauses an orchestration run for a specified duration or until a specific date and time.
Use Cases
- Add a delay between consecutive API calls to avoid rate limiting
- Wait for a scheduled time before sending a reminder
- Implement time-window logic (e.g. “wait until next business day”)
